Hi,
It depends if you want to mine bitcoin which uses a hashing algorithm SHA256 or doge which is scrypt based.
That setup is too weak to mine bitcoin successfully, but it will mine scrypt based currencies like dogecoin quiet well.

yep, its mostly down to gpu, from the 6970 you should be able to get 430-500+ kh/s script mining alt coins catcoin etc etc etc etc etc. maybe even try some ltc as its got good value but would be harder to get than any new coin, its so flooded with coins though any new one is almost guaranteed to go nowhere. try and find with an actual purpose and dev's trying to actually get an industry to use it.
with both those cards tuned up you might be able to get 1000kh/s so i reckon mine ltc and pick 1 altcoin a month that looks good to get some of and keep incase it goes big.
you could even have one card mining one coin and another card mining another coin

Yes Masv this rig is suitable for mining because you will earn a lot of alt coins such Catcoin.
New to bitcoin and wanting to get started, buying bitcoin seems so be troublesome with usd and Im not really interested in linking my bank account to questionable companies for a questionable currency. I do have a good computer though and trying to wrap my head around mining but not sure if it will work...
My gaming rig is:
Intel i7 2600k
2x ATI Radeon HD 6970 2gb crossfire
Asrock z68 extreme 4
8gb DDR 3 low latency
2x128gb SSD raid 0 array
Is this rig suitable for mining, and will it earn me any coins?
